An exomoon or extrasolar moon is a natural satellite that orbits an exoplanet or other non-stellar extrasolar body. Exomoons are difficult to detect and...

have been no positive confirmations of satellites of extra-solar planets (exomoons); however, some evidence in favour of their existence has been produced...

yet be ruled out; deep exploration would be required for confirmation. Exomoons are not yet confirmed to exist and their detection may be limited to transit-timing...

I is a possible moon of exoplanet Kepler-1625b, which may be the first exomoon ever discovered (pending confirmation), and was first indicated after preliminary...

Tidally detached exomoons, also known as orphaned exomoons or ploonets, are hypothetical exoplanets that were formerly exomoons of another planet, before...

The Hunt for Exomoons with Kepler (HEK) is a project whose aim is to search for exomoons, natural satellites of exoplanets, using data collected by the...
